This autumn the Kuenstlerhaus presents five exhibitions which have a good look at the matter of artistic co-operation.
This series of shows focusses on different approaches and motivations of co-operations. The invited projects use several medias of contemporary art as painting, concept, photography, installation and
film. For instance, painters (who usually are keen to define and protect their very personal style and strategy) discover and enjoy the advantages of opening out and combining their points of view and skills. Co-operating is not that unusual for young art film-makers, possibly it is even essential. Different from their way of working together on projects are the effective production communities of photographers and installation artists.

In the artistic researches of ++ Kooperation PRIVAT the question about the design andform of the (living) space is the main one.

Modern man kind lives in urbanistic and commercial world. what are main aspects of these invented public spaces. Isn't there a commercial interest only? Are n't people guided within them? Trained for transition, consuming and shopping? Awaking the customer with information and service?

Place as there are: shopping malls, supermarkets, fun parks, highways, gas stations or else.

++ Kooperation PRIVAT is importing these spaces into exhibition spaces within installations, video work and projektions. This is how sensitive comments on public space arise, temporary spaces develop.
